My Many Colored Days kindergarten art lesson
Our school does a week of all Dr. Seuss books and activities so I thought why not the art room? I found the idea here http://mrsmaynardsartroom.blogspot.com/2010/03/our-many-colored-days.html
You can read the book by Dr.Seuss My Many Colored Days or show it on YouTube.
We folded our 12" x 9" multi media paper into four sections and discussed various emotions and how to draw them.
After we drew them in pencil we traced over our lines with a black marker.
This took the whole 50 minute class period.
On the next day students painted each box a different watercolor. I encouraged the students to pick a color that would match the emotion such as mad being the red color.
This only took around 15 minutes. They turned out so cute! Thanks Mrs. Maynard for the idea.
